Long Munches Poems

Toddlers' Exploration: 

Cardboard drum and a thunderous beast
With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks.
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.
Flaps...

Watching from the corner, in her ‘Speedy’ ice cream van
While armed and hooded villains carry out their wicked plan
They rob the bank and make off just as quickly as they can
But Speedy does a wheelie...

The Big Ben chimes thrice
The chime letS go of its wings
and swallows a bee-sting--
it sprays its spine with spice. 

The printer reboots in haste
The fruits play hide-and-seek
and collide with a geek--
it munches them into paste.

The...

Donkey 

Pin back your ears
Settle down for the ride
And you'll find a warm feeling
Somewhere way deep inside.. 

Here is a story
That has often been told
It's full of excitement 
and never gets old 

It starts with...

Meanwhile, Mrs. Pappadopoulos
has circled back and plops down
on Fred's front porch, all tuckered out
 
So Fred cheerfully pulls up a chair
and together they sit and stare
openly ogling, gawking, gaping
because, as everyone knows-
it's not considered staring
if...

Say something nice my love
Pass the bread and butter please
Put down the dagger to the heart
A slice of kindness will do just fine
Don't be like the ugly lady in Amsterdam
Yelling at her husband to pass...

The Prize 
The bobber floats, but when it dips, my heart skips for hooked lips. The line tightens, the tug is strong, I reel in. The fight is on. It's a tug of war, an...

Oh baby! 
Everyone speaks of a mother's prenatal travails
that make you a part of this earth's tales. 

But,
No one talks about what hassle you undergo
In your 9-month-long journey when you're all solo. 

I understand what...

He is the sound of a waterdrop 
A waterdrop off a leaf into a pond
He keeps monkeys and trees, bond
And works zebras for donkeys

He sprinkles scent on flowers 
And enchants buffaloes for mowers
He spells vultures...

Are they horned and screaming?
No, nothing that munches other meat eaters
could rupture light years.
Are they ethereal deities
that live on their own ever flowing nectar,
so far advanced
that we haven’t a chance?

In Ohio we are infused;
the sky...

The mirror stands cracked,
Neglected at the corner,
The broken glass wearing a coat,
Of a fine film of dust.
She no longer dares…
To look, nor does she care.

Her face, heart shaped,
Her eyes, bright and brown
Her skin a light...

"The pen is mightier than the sword"
- In general, I guess that's true
But mine's a lazy blighter;
It treats sloth as a bloody virtue

It's not the liveliest of beasts
It's always at a halt
It likes staring at...

This time of trouble so torn by terror,
time of deep darkness and all-devouring death,
this time of woe, high wages and much wenching
is no time for pleasant pastorals and praises.
I wander weary this winding way and...

Some times as I sit in a city diner.....people watching
I wonder how they can live like this
Then I laugh at myself
Born and raised in the bomb ruined port of Liverpool
With the run of the city...

The nematode, only oms
And then of course, noms
And munches, 
without, really 
munching much at all.
No teeth.

Ah.
To move in the mulch.
a thicket
of touch
not really 
knowing where or,
how
you are.
A siphon of silicone
sipping at soil
silent and secure.

But,
at any...

DEPRESSION

Diarrhea of the brain
Tiredness in my bones
Trouble focusing and concentrating
Unhappiness feelings over thrown
Anger in my blood
Irritability shaken adult syndrome
Frustration floating in my cranium
Loss of interest in pleasures
Of fun activities too much or too little
Sleep issues,...

In my house there is a monster,
Who’s growing every day,
He’s usually quite happy,
In his own reptilian way.
He often watches TV,
He doesn’t care which side,
He really looks quite funny
When his mouth is open wide.
It cools him...

My bunny rabbit is so bold,
always wanting out.
From the hutch I keep it in,
since it got so stout.

Sits there wriggling it's fluffy ears,
and the tip of its pinky nose.
He's such a rolly polly guy,
and knows...

Stargazing

Empty stare no stars in sight nor light he eats his Milky Way with telescopic grind
munches another here and there anticipates the Universe with all its loony moons

Assembles concentric mirrors in horizontal guise wishes himself...

Leaning on the deluxe seat,
She munches banana chips.
Her handsome husband breathes near
And an air-cooler blows chill.
Yet, she looks back from the car.

The vehicles fly, scattering on road.
One bike chases so close,
As it tries to kiss...
